Hello everyone,
I need to find the gridview row number on click of a row on Page_load not on any other event..!! How do i do that?Please help me..!!

Sorry Francis, but I believe you're out of luck as the Page.Load event is way too early in the Page lifecyle to pick this up. This would most likely be done in the SelectedIndexChanged, RowCommand, or Click event of a Button.

Hi,
Ya i understand that. Is there any other way i can find out the Row number.I ll tell you my actual requirement.Im implementing the ICallbackEventHandler and implement the RaiseCallbackEvent event tht is where i need the row number of the gridview so that i can retrieve certain details based on the row number.I tried the other way round that is on rowboundData event of the gridview i add onclick attributes and store that in a hidden field but somehow i m not able to figure out y the hidden field value does not show up in the RaiseCallbackEvent..!!! Is there any other way i can do this..?? 
Thanks n regards,
Francis P.

Hi:
  Please try this:
       protected string temp;
        public void RaiseCallbackEvent(string eventArgument)
        {
            temp = "At:" + DateTime.Now.ToString() + " you selected row " + eventArgument + ".";
        }
        public string GetCallbackResult()
        {
            return temp;
        }
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            ClientScript.GetCallbackEventReference(this, "param", "handleResultFromServer", "context");
        }

        <script type="text/javascript">
function callToServer(index)
{
    var param = index;
    var context = ""; 
    WebForm_DoCallback('__Page',param,handleResultFromServer,context,null,false) 
}
function handleResultFromServer(result, context)
{       alert(result);
}
</script>

        <asp:GridView DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" ID="GridView2" runat="server">
        <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField>
        <ItemTemplate>
        <input onclick='<%# "callToServer(" +((GridViewRow)Container).RowIndex + ")"%>' type="button" value="Call to Server" />
        </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>

Hi:
  My suggestion is to use AJAX control to do so:
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager2" runat="server">
    </asp:ScriptManager>

    <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel2" runat="server">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <cc2:PopupControlExtender  ID="PopupControlExtender1" runat="server" PopupControlID="DetailsView1" TargetControlID="GridView4">
    </cc2:PopupControlExtender>
     <asp:GridView DataKeyNames="theID" AutoGenerateSelectButton="true" ID="GridView4" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server">
    </asp:GridView>
    <asp:DetailsView BackColor="AliceBlue" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" ID="DetailsView1" runat="server" Height="50px" Width="125px">
    </asp:DetailsView>
    </ContentTemplate>
    </asp:UpdatePanel>

        <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" 
            ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:AConnectionString %>" 
            SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM Table_1" 
            onselecting="SqlDataSource1_Selecting"></asp:SqlDataSource>

             <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" 
            ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:AConnectionString %>" 
            SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM Table_1 where theID=@theID" 
            onselecting="SqlDataSource1_Selecting">
            <SelectParameters><asp:ControlParameter Name="theID" ControlID="GridView4" />
            </SelectParameters>
            </asp:SqlDataSource>
